Heat oil in a fry pan and when hot, add chicken and fry for 5 minutes, stirring a few times as it cooks. When ready, turn off the heat and sit for a couple of mnutes while you finish preparing the salad.

In 2 large bowls, lay down shredded lettuce, and section tomato and avocado to one third of the dish. Add chicken to the last third and serve as is or with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice.

Essential Kitchen Items

Sharp knives are the most important staple in the kitchen. Sharp knives make it easier to chop and lead to less injuries too, believe it or not! Keep a good grater handy for grating veggies and cheese. And have some nice serving bowls handy for your salads. If you prefer salad dressings, get yourself a nice glass dispenser and whip up a simple homemade blend of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
